Tridosha Siddhanta (The 3 Bio-Energies)
According to Ayurveda, the human body is composed of three fundamental energies or Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Their perfect balance defines health, and their imbalance leads to disease.
Vata (Wind & Space): Controls movement, breathing, blood circulation, and the nervous system.
Pitta (Fire & Water): Governs digestion, metabolism, energy production, and intelligence.
